THE Birmingham-based president of the British Pakistani Youth Council once said he would ‘salute’ Adolf Hitler if he killed more Jews than Muslims.
Kamran Ishtiaq, 37, famously hosted David Cameron when the then Tory leader wanted to ‘experience life outside of Westminster’.
On his LinkedIn profile he says he is President of the Council, which was set up to “focus on issues affecting our lives as British young people”. He adds that he has worked for the body from January 2009 to the present.
But a Facebook post from 2014, and the comments he made at the time, show he said of the Nazi dictator: “I would salute him still if he killed 90 Muslims and 92 Jews.”
When quizzed by BirminghamLive this week, he said: “If it’s on my Facebook, I said it.”
After a picture of Hitler appeared on his Facebook page, he was admonished by another poster who pointed out that the Nazi leader was a racist.
Mr Ishtiaq had replied: “I know that and to be honest he would have killed Muslims too if he got a chance.
“But you know what, I would salute him still if he killed 90 Muslims and 92 Jews.” [Birmingham Mail] Read more
